ADVANCED MODELING AND ANIMATION:FINAL ASSIGNMENT  ——— Ding Jiaqi/0379388  Advanced Modeling And Animation/ Bachelor of interactive spatial design ——— Introduction： The task is to create a fun, immersive VR experience for a futuristic theme park. Design process： At first, I made two very simple structures. When the teacher explained the last assignment, I felt it didn't quite meet the standards, so I decided to change the model. Design stage： I searched for many pictures online and created a mood board to help me brainstorm ideas. I believe the combination of blue and stainless steel silver creates a futuristic, high-tech vibe, so I chose to incorporate these two elements. Modeling stage： Initially, I created models of a roller coaster and a pirate ship in Blender. However, I felt they were too simplistic, and the main reason I wanted to recreate them was that my first version lacked complexity. So I found a lot of reference images online to enrich the details. UE stage： I impo...

ADVANCED MODELING AND ANIMATION ——— Ding Jiaqi/0379388  Advanced Modeling And Animation/ Bachelor of interactive spatial design —— WEEK 2 In this class, the teacher mainly explained the basic usage of Blender, scalar parameters, and how to use appropriate settings. We followed step by step to create a Ferris wheel model. I fell behind a few times, but with the help of the teacher and classmates, I managed to finish it and learned a lot. WEEK 3 This class taught us about the material system in Unreal Engine and some basic practical steps. 1. Material Core Concepts Material Domains:   Surface: Used for things like characters, walls, and objects.   Volume: Used for environmental effects such as clouds or fog. Transparency:   Fully Transparent / Visible: Uses black and white textures; it’s fast to render.   Translucent: Has adjustable transparency — good for glass or water. Shading Models:   PBI/PPI: Texture-based and most common.   Light-Affected: Color c...
